1946-2025
Reverend Harold Wayne Fevens B.Th., M.Div., known to all as Wayne, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2025 at Blomidon Court-Shannex, Greenwich, NS, surrounded by loved ones. Born October 13, 1946, at Yarmouth Regional Hospital, Wayne was the son of Archibald and Mildred (Ball) Fevens.
Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Deborah (Murphy); sons, Dustin Wayne, Matthew Shawn (Joanne), Jonathan Dale (Suzi), and Christopher James Archibald (Nasil); and cherished grandchildren, Archer, Max, Cole, and Noah.
Wayne is also survived by his brother, Dale (Stephanie) Fevens, sister, Nancy (Warren) Fitzgerald and brother-in-law, Reverend Robert Gates; as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family including Debbie’s sisters and brother-in-law.
Wayne and Deborah were also parents to Joshua Andrew, who passed away at birth, a loss they carried with love and faith throughout their lives; and he was predeceased by his sister, Deanna Gates.
A devoted minister for 47 years, Wayne served at churches across Nova Scotia and Newfoundland before becoming Regional Minister for Southwest, NS. Post-retirement, he continued preaching with joy.
Wayne loved classic cars, sports, Star Wars, and playing guitar. His travels took him around the globe, but his heart was always with his family and faith.
Wayne’s favourite verse, Jeremiah 29:11, reflects his steadfast devotion: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
